Anti-Islam Teachings ‘Widespread’ In U.S. Law Enforcement

[Purveyor]

By Ryan Devereaux, The Guardian

A course at a military academy that taught US officers to prepare for “total war” with Islam does not represent an isolated incident, campaigners have warned.

The Pentagon moved swiftly to distance itself from revelations that officers in a defense department class were taught that “Hiroshima”-style tactics would be needed to combat the threat from Islam.

“It was totally objectionable, against our values and it wasn’t academically sound,” said General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

The class in question was canceled in April and Dempsey noted the instructor responsible for the course, army lieutenant colonel Matthew A Dooley, is “no longer in a teaching status”. Dooley, however, is still employed at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia.

3. I bet if you trace this back you'll find it coming from fundamentalists for the most part..

The fundies have made a sustained and concerted effort to reach positions of power and influence in our society and direct society for their own ends.

From local school boards to Rick Santorum and everything in between, why would anyone even imagine the military has not also been infiltrated?
